    “The Jews carved Israel out of the desert”

    Except they fucking didn’t

    The exodus didn’t fucking happen.

    The Jews emerged in-situ from the pre-existing Canaanite culture following the disintegration of the Bronze Age.

    The exodus didn’t fucking happen.

    At the time when the exodus was supposed to have happened, Egypt ruled Palestine. Moses led the Hebrews out of Egypt into Egypt?

    The exodus didn’t fucking happen.

    600,000 warriors implies a retinue of several millions. That number could never have survived so long wandering the desert and they would have left some pottery shards behind but they didn’t.

    The exodus didn’t fucking happen.

    What’s more… the Jewish diaspora didn’t really happen. The very large majority of Jews remained in Palestine. Only around 100,000 or so left, and those mostly just from Jerusalem. The large majority of Jews remained and converted to Christianity by the 4th century and then later most of them converted to Islam. Today they’re called Palestinians.

    Myth after myth after fucking myth.
